– What we hold and reflect truly creates a huge part of our reality. If everyone is having this collective discussion about how bad it is, are you joining in? I say: let’s change the discussion to what we can do and we want to do instead. We obviously have some severely broken systems, are we going to be happy with just patching them up? Would you be happy with retreads for tires never knowing when the whole thing may just spin off? Why would we be happy with retreads for our monetary systems, our government, and our businesses?

We are entering a new era and this era requires a different set of rules. The Internet has shown us, it is all about connection. Not only whom you are connected to but what you are connecting about. It is also about what you are doing to support the people you are connecting with. Yes, I do know there are all sorts of weird people on the Internet in every field. I also know there is every kind of uplifting. People are not afraid to speak of soul and spirit. What is the state of our collective spirit right now? How are you contributing to that? How can you see building our collective spirit? What are you doing to get more energy? What are you doing to share it? How do we go about Greening ourselves?

I don’t just want to ask questions. I want to offer some tips that I have found work.

You want more hope? Get more energy. Energy is the baseline of everything. Where do we go to get more energy? Usually sleep, food, maybe exercise, meditation, or prayer. So, what do you choose?

Try this – Breath of Fire: Instant Energy Booster

Breath of fire is a continuous, rapid, diaphragmatic breath done through the nose or mouth. Both inhale and exhale are equal and even. Think of butterfly wings allowing the diaphragm to move easily and rhythmically. For added benefits, pump with the abdomen: pull the navel inward as you exhale, release on the inhale.

1-2 minutes

Gift: Increases the metabolism, an excellent rejuvenating and energizing exercise.

The next meditation is great one that you can do at your desk and it will give you energy without leaving your office, home, or place of work.

Arm Lifts

Reach up for relief from eyes to base of spine. Sitting up straight, lift both arms overhead and interlock thumbs. From there you can do several exercises:

Eye exercises: inhale deeply and rotate the eyes in a counter clockwise motion as long as you can hold the breath. Exhale. Next inhale, repeat the exercise switching the directions. Exhale. Then inhale again moving the eyes diagonally, upper left to lower right. Exhale. Inhale and switch. Lastly, move the eyes up and down while holding the breath.
